Key Capabilities
Cline figures out the asset rules
According to the tax code, every piece of property has a specific recovery period. This MCP grabs these details automatically by running `get_asset_class_info`. You just mention you bought a truck or a warehouse. The agent pulls the exact MACRS life and convention needed to start the math.
Model first-year write-offs
The bottom line is cash flow. You need to know if taking a massive upfront deduction makes sense for your business. Cline executes `calculate_expensing_impact` to pit Section 179 and bonus depreciation against standard recovery. The MCP writes the comparison directly into your project documentation.
Build out the whole timeline
Long-term planning requires exact numbers for every single tax year. Your agent calls `calculate_depreciation_schedule` to map out the entire asset lifecycle. The output is a precise CSV or markdown table showing the exact deduction per year. The tool stages the commit and pushes the updated model to your repository.
